Just got email about a sell of this box.

It contains 10 cigars:
* Montecristo Edmundo (Ring Gauge 52 x 135 mm long)
* Trinidad Robustos Extra (Ring Gauge 50 x 155 mm long)
* Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios (Ring Gauge 52 x 140 mm long)
* H.Upmann Magnum 50 (Ring Gauge 50 x 160 mm long))
* Romeo y Julieta Short Churchills (Ring Gauge 50 x 124 mm long)
* Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial (Ring Gauge 50 x 141 mm long)
* Partagás Serie P No 2 (Ring Gauge 52 x 156 mm long)
* Cohiba Siglo VI (Ring Gauge 52 x 150 mm long)
* San Cristóbal de la Habana Mercaderes (Ring Gauge 48 x 167 mm long)
* Cuaba Generosos (Ring Gauge 42 x 132 mm long)

All for $300.
it sure is a beauty but does it worth the price?

No, not at that price. You are paying a premium for the box and the extra band on each cigar.

I have seen that same box for $210.00 US!!!

 

[dagoR6]

It's a rip off at 210 as well! There are so many good sampler deals out there right now as well as box deals, 210 could go a long way. And 300 even further!

Habanos is starting to do more and more of this stuff, even the travel glass tubes are pricey. Of course, I'm speaking too soon, wait until the Gran Reserva's come out....

 

[Black Plague]

For $300, I could buy a whole box of any of those sizes (except the Cohibas) and still have change left over! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Man, Raul is really stretching to get some more money into cuba..

I have seen it for 245 and I think that it is WAY overpriced for ten smokes. I have been in a EL buying kick as of lately and I finally had to stop. The price points are just not worth the amount of smokes IMHO.

 

[Tapewormboy]

yea, it's def overpriced, and not worth it if you intend on smoking them.

BUT...

as a gift for a bday or anniversary or something like that, it may be perfect.

hell, i know i wouldn't mind getting that as a gift. =)

 

[scthornton]

That is way over priced, IMHO, you can get that same box for about 33% less. You can get the cigars that are in the box for A LOT less, so unless you want the box, get the individual smokes.

 

[jepe]

Thanks for all the info.
I don't need the box at all so I'll try and get the cigars alone and
see how much different it will be.

 

[themoneycollector]

Too much money for the extra band

 

[Smok'em]

Not worth it IMO.

It's amazing some of the items they try to sell.

 

[Drewcali]

ive got an extra, empty festival box, if someone is interested.

cheers

That would be a cool item to have, even empty....
Just wondering what customs might think of it being sent from Mexico?
